Well after waiting two months on my replacement Z it finally arrived.

Thread on my first accident in 2002:

I picked it up last night with 11 miles on it and am now up to 100 as of this morning.

We picked it up and took it straight to Sharif at FORGED PERFORMANCE. I am proud to say that the car will be their new HR test machine. Sharif will be posting the numbers this weekend. So don't ask.

The car will be going through a build for the next three months. Full wide body, suspension, brakes, NA mods, wheels, custom interior, and stereo install. We will be going FI as soon as kits become available.

Let's hope that the third time is the charm and that we are able to keep this one for a very long time.

Good stuff, sorry to hear about so many trys. I get my 07 next weekend, unless the dealer pulls more BS and still can't find me one. But either way keep us posted I will make sure to watch out for your threads.

 

sorry to hear about that! but congrats on your 07, what were the dyno results?? I see it's on the dyno in the pic..

 

Thanks guys!

Sharif will be posting it this weekend.

Thanks, we are excited. Mods start this weekend.

BTW - From the day that I ordered it took 63 days for the car to arrive. They waited a at least two weeks to put the order in at the beginning of the next month. They had told me it would be here in 75 days. Nissan did good.

Good Luck on the new project, and be "SAFE"...

 

Thanks - I almost had an accident yesterday. What are you going to do? People in Atlanta can not drive.

I'll be waiting for your assesment of the change from coupe to roadster. Their is only so much bad luck out there with accidents and you've had your share. The law of averages says you should have clear sailing for decades. Congratulations.

 

I like the roadster. When we bought our first car in 2002 is was not out. Same for the replacement. Since we already built a Coupe we decided to change it up with the roadster this time. I really enjoyed driving it yesterday. I am not very partial to the z with the top up and probably never would have bought a roadster unless my car was totaled. My wife and I talked about it when the roadster came out and we decided not to buy one.

I like the new car a lot and really am happy that I got the new HR as well. Should be a very interesting build. Since we build show cars it will definitely get more attention on the circuit. The coupe has gotten played out on the circuit and this will enable us to do something different.

Added my dyno chart to first post.

Look on with interest to see how your new ZR project goes. Better luck with this one, third time will be lucky.

 

will you get a custom top(diff color and fabric) or will it be stock?

 

no plans yet for that. Probably one of the last things I do.

Added GReddy Evo TT exhaust today with test pipes. dyno info to follow tomorrow.

Congrats on the new Z, and looking forward to seeing your project complete.

 

Added test pipes and GReddy EVO TT exhaust.

Damn...numbers look real good
I hope it turns out like your old baby.
I just wanna know where do you get all this money, ****

 

It took me five years to build the last one. I got almost all of it back when it got totaled. I now get to build a new car in just a few months with the money.

Very fun.

J

 

Good luck with your car man!

 

That's very impressive. Care to share the torque curve as well? Thanks.
